Scientists from Cal Poly Humboldt conducted a rangewide analysis of coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) to examine growth trends and understand how these trees are responding to recent environmental changes.
The Geospatial Energy Mapper is an interactive online mapping tool that can help identify areas across the country that are suitable for wind, solar, and other clean energy infrastructure projects.
Many people are aware of plastic pollution in the oceans. Photos of turtles or seabirds entangled in plastic garbage first went viral in the 1990s, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now the focus of highly publicized cleanup efforts.
Due to recent changes in the climate, land use, infrastructure, and population expansion, more people than ever are at risk from flooding. To avoid physical and economic damage, it is essential to precisely estimate flood frequency and severity.
Scientists, utilizing the energy from the Sun, devised a system that transforms plastic waste and greenhouse gases into sustainable fuels and other valuable products.
The team behind Turntide Technologies’ Hyperdrive battery systems have won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for its innovative technology that is helping to decarbonise industry and transportation.
A new study led by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) has shown that ecosystems in western parts of southeastern Australia – including western Victoria and western Tasmania – may be most at risk of feeling the impacts of climate change in the coming decades.
More than a century of preserved fish specimens offer a rare glimpse into long-term trends in parasite populations.
University of California, Riverside, scientists have moved a step closer to finding a use for the hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste produced every year that often winds up clogging streams and rivers and polluting our oceans.
Plankton may offer a way to monitor historical marine pollution trends, and could be used to predict trends in human health, according to new research.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been working on testing and unlocking the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) on the recently launched Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP).

Extreme and prolonged thermal bleaching has been experienced by the coral reefs next to the French Polynesian island of Moorea located in the central South Pacific Ocean.
How will our glaciers change during the 21st century? In a new study whose findings are published in Science (5 January), an international team1, including scientists from the CNRS and Université Toulouse III–Paul Sabatier, has demonstrated a loss of glacial mass greater than earlier projected—and specifically, 11% to 44% higher than estimates used in the most recent IPCC report.
Raindrops, evaporating water, and even moisture in the air are all potentially sources of decentralized clean electricity generation, but many of the technologies that take advantage of this ambient and vast source of energy—many of which are inspired by the electricity harvesting techniques of plants and animals—remain at the lab-bench stage.
British solar thermal design and engineering company Naked Energy today announces further international expansion after partnering with two leading European manufacturing firms.
